Marilyn: How would you describe the typical "Ask Marilyn" reader? Marilyn responds:

Judging from my experience, readers of "Ask Marilyn" populate the entire range of Americans who are smarter than average. They include people of all ages and occupations, including students and their professors, stay-at-home moms and live-at-the-office business owners, people who are unemployed or underemployed, and more.
